I use dict.cc because they support the context menu action to look up definitions.

Same for Florisboard: press ?123, then 1234.

Side note: Florisboard also allows you to use custom keyboard layouts, which would make it possible to

a) make the numbers keypad accessible with one click from the main layer and b) move the numbers actually to the right side (not in the middle like they’re now).

There’s a catch though: currently, the process is quite technical. An easier way is planned, but it’s hard to say when it will arrive.

Maybe a bit patience will do, since Thunderbird is planning to…

a) make an iOS app b) add support for sync to you can sync your settings and account conifgurations between devices

I don’t know of any good solution that works right now however. :-/

And for 80$/month you can get 25Gbps!

uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations. So my list would roughly contain:

• Organic Maps
• Thunderbird
• Internet Archive
• Codeberg

I’d like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it’s not possible to only support Firefox development.

A network of (“thousands of”) servers has — like most things — pros and cons.

Some of the pros are:

• The network is more resiliant against outages. If lemmy.ml is down, all other users can still access the network.
• It’s hard to take legal action against the network or to buy it out (like Big Players™ like to do to get rid of potential competitors).
• It allows various similar or even conflicting moderation policies. The network, i.e. the infrastructure doesn’t allow or prohibit any specific opinion (the communities do).
• It allows for different ways to pay the bills: goodwill of the admin, donaitions, ads, fee or selfhosting. The latter also allows great control over the data so you control your privacy.

Some of the cons are:

• Content is replicated across servers, which increases the total amount of data stored.
• Latency and speed suffer.
• Interoperability with the wider Fediverse is less than 100%, which can create confusion and frustration.
• Discovery is more difficult.
